IMX Pro Bass Nrr
specialized Ned-rig spinning rods with compliant tip and light-line finesse focus.
A dedicated finesse spinning series designed specifically for the Ned rig and related bottom contact presentations, mushroom jig heads, small Z-Man plastics, hair jigs. Serves smallmouth and largemouth in open water, rocky bottoms, and offshore structure. IMX-PRO blank built on a technique-specific mandrel with high-modulus, high-performance material, up to 15% lighter than E6X equivalents.
The compliant tip allows natural bait movement on the bottom and preserves tension without telegraphing unnatural resistance to the fish; the midsection transitions smoothly to drive small light-wire hooks home on light line. Fuji K-Frame guides manage braid-to-fluoro leader cleanly. Cork grip. Two XF-action spinning rods: 6'11" ML (6-10lb, 1/16-5/16oz) for the lightest Ned presentations and open-water finesse, and 7'4" M (8-10lb, 1/8-3/8oz) for slightly heavier heads and hover-strolling applications.
Both are spinning only. The longer 7'4" adds casting distance for offshore points.
Shaded band: the spread of the lineup's 2 models, as percentile rank among same-type rods. Solid line = series median · dashed ring = catalog median.

Model notes
All 2 modelsLighter of the pair, lures down to 1/16oz and 6lb line make this the pick for the smallest Ned heads in clear, high-pressure water. ML power keeps the tip compliant enough to animate small plastics without overcranking the bait.
The longer 7'4" M adds casting range for offshore structure and handles heavier Ned heads up to 3/8oz. Doubles as a hover-strolling rod where sustained mid-water contact is needed.
